Re: local chars displayed as numbers

    A file containing a windows-1252 char that doesn't appear in
    iso-8859-1 is detected as windows-1252.  Bad effect is that
    some (or many) binary files are also detected as
    windows-1252.

    A file containing a windows-1252 char that doesn't appear in
    iso-8859-1 is detected as raw-text.

1 is better than 2.

    I think that change results in the best behavior.

Please do that if you can do it in a way that is clearly safe.
